This film gives me SO MUCH nostalgia. Saw it when I was a little kid and I absolutely adored this movie, plus the legend Robin Williams stars in it, he’s amazing. My great uncle was close friends with Jim Varney who I got to meet, and he’s also a legend (in my eyes) and I always remember him telling me stories of him and Robin Williams messing around being silly. So much nostalgia and memories of my childhood just thinking of this film and RW.

[@mostaley5049]

I’ve seen this movie several times with several people and watched several reaction videos. I saw it when it was released. You are the 1st to recognize his father was Van Pelt. I didn’t know until 20 years later. Great reaction. 👏👏😊🥰

[@bigdream_dreambig]

The game riddle makes it pretty obvious that it'll be his father, but most first-time watchers are too distracted by all the ruckus to catch that, and then the actor isn't one who's well known enough for people to recognize him "on his own merits" in both parts, so most people don't realize until a rewatch when they're more calm and can pay more attention to the game clues.

[@Cheepchipsable]

@@bigdream_dreambig Game doesn't make it obvious it his father, it says something like someone who will make you, "feel just like like a child". I would have thought Peter might have put the face to the hunter, (perhaps different for each person who got that outcome). Seems like it could have been any kind of authority figure from that persons past, (teacher, etc), except they were a hunter. I just thought it was a bit of a gag they used the same actor as the father, (easily recognisable I thought. 🤷‍♂) No indication the hunter thought Peter was his son.

[@stevenulch2764]

Not the first person to notice. Maybe the first you have seen. Word usage.

[@lacthocia]

[39:44] _"i didn't expected it to end like this (...) doesn't make a lot of sense"_ It's because it's said in the rules of the game that they gotta finish it in order to everything go back to normal/what it was. They didn't start to play in 96', Judy and Peter were only added to the game *Alan and Sarah started in the 70's.* That way, when they finish, the game went back in time to reverse everything it affected, with Alan and Sarah as children the night they started the game. _Hope it makes sense now!_ 🫂💗

[@vincecommando7575]

That's one of the amazing things about film. The rules are exactly whatever the writers and directors say they are. Just remember it's only a movie. Don't take them too seriously and always keep an open mind. Also try to enjoy the experience as much as possible.

[@MM-NolascoPH]

Yeah! I really hope that she would have PAID ATTENTION to the movie....

[@Tconl]

And on to Jumanji '2' and '3'. (Welcome to the Jungle/Next Level) Sortoff a reboot but technically a sequel. But I was very pleasantly suprised how good/fun they were. Some extra info; Jumanji is based on a book. The book has a sequel too. Of which is also a movie but its not done not connected to the first movie. Much less known.

[@edgarcardenas1777]

This movie is the epitome of Hollywood HAVING FUN. Miss it

[@Eowyn187]

Oh yay! This movie is so adorable, and so much fun. (love the cast in this one) Can't wait to see you with it. I'm betting you're about to love it. 12 minutes later... You're totally loving it!! 🤗

[@ThePharaz]

Zathura: A Space Adventure (2005) is a sci-fi version of Jumanji style adventure. The whole thing that happened was all part of the game. Once the game is over reality continues from where it left off before the game thus it was for those playing the game like a reset.

[@MacAisling]

Technically the next film in the franchise, being an adaptation of the second book by the author of the original book of Jumanji. Same basic plot, different characters, different game, different setting.

[@TheNativeEngine]

Interesting...One could find out opportunities to make money like the lottery and the stock market if they pause the game for maybe a decade or two.😮

Hello Evie, the asthmatic rhinoceros gets me every time. " Hey! "

[@lookatthisjamoke]

I think when Allen and Sarah argue about the past 20 years. I dont think she is trying to compare her suffering, but to empathize with the young girl she once was. She isnt defending herself. She is defending the young girl that saw her friend get sucked into a boardgame, get chased by bats and have no one believe her.

[@beannathrach2417]

The same author of this book also wrote Zathura which is a similar premise. This is addition to the sequels with Rock. The police is David Alan Griers who has done many things with the Wayan Brothers.

[@vincecommando7575]

I must say I cried like I haven't in a very long time. When I heard Robin Williams had died. This man was like for all of us a massive part of not just my childhood but my life as well. I loved everything that he ever did. Even the times when he wasn't at his best. I couldn't stop laughing or learning from this man. That seemed to be fearless in anything he was doing. Just slam down on the accselrator and go balls to the wall. But always be just as determined to be appreciative to everyone else around you. That is what I have taken away from Robin Williams. For his life was a full one and it was certainly worth living. Man oh man, did he live it up.

[@Cheepchipsable]

17:06, the Clampetts were the family in the TV series The Beverly Hillbillies. You wonder if the kids who played the game went back to the point they started the game and continued their lives with their aunt, which would mean a different time line, since their lives were altered by their parents not dying, and they would have never played the game.

[@Aegi97]

Jumanji is definitely a childhood favorite of mine. I agree, the cop was hilarious. I think what made him most famous was the sketch comedy show “In Living Color” from 90-94. Btw the last name is pronounced Greer. I am always down for more Robin Williams and I think an underrated classic that’s also from the 90’s is Hook. Highly recommend.

[@domingocurbelomorales8635]

You´re the first one who recognises that Alan´s father, and Van Pelt the hunter, are the same actor.

What a classic movie, I don't know how many times I watched it back then! Thank you so much for your lovely response! :) I don't know if you keep a list of all the Robin Williams movies that are suggested to you. I suggested the 1996 movie "Jack" under one of your videos, so maybe that's something for you too! If you've already read it, sorry for the reminder! :) Otherwise, thanks, it's always a pleasure to watch you react! ❤

[@granadosvm]

Great reaction! Loved this movie when it came out. The level of disaster went from terrifying to absurd and the one after the other eventually became funny. The end was sweet. Overall, I enjoyed watching it several times. I the first of the next two ones, I loved Jack Black's role, but I can't tell you why without spoilers, so I will just recommend you watching it.

[@ju2545]

Van Pelt was played by the same actor as Alan’s father, (Jonathan Hyde) but he’s not supposed to be his dad himself (his dad was never sucked into the game)

[@jayj2day]

I highly recommend What Dreams May Come for those who want to see the amazing acting range of Robbin Williams. Warning: it will make you ugly cry, but it's such a great, artistic, and original story that you won't regret it.

[@Deathbird_Mitch]

Bicentennial Man is another underrated Robin Williams movie. I'd also recommend an early one, Moscow On The Hudson.

[@thatpatrickguy3446]

Great reaction to a wonderful movie! And the follow-up movie is very good (which I did not expect. I only saw it because the kids I was babysitting for one night were watching it, and I ended up liking it as much as they did) and it is a sequel and not a remake, thank goodness, because no one can replace Robin Williams. Van Pelt returns as the villain (which always amused me since the only Van Pelts I had ever heard of before were Lucy and Linus in the Peanuts/Charlie Brown comic strip) played by a different actor but even more creepily. Robin Williams was such a brilliant actor, and as awesome as he was a comedian it was so good to see him do more and more touching and deep roles, such as in What Dreams May Come, The Fisher King, Dead Poets Society, and Awakenings.

[@amythetoon6535]

up until reading this comment i had no idea van pelt was a character that existed before jumanji

The other Jumanjis technically are sequels not a remake. If you watch them and pay close attention you will see it.

Absolutely loved this movie as a kid. Yeah some of the cgi hasn’t aged well however this movie is a gem of a time. It’s such a fun and entertaining watch. Very nostalgic in the good sense.

[@vincecommando7575]

I saw it as a kid too in theaters. I always makes smile when I think back on it nowadays. Robin Williams as always the hilarious talent that could never stopped. Everyone else David Alan Grier, Kirsten Dunst and Bonnie Hunt were just trying to keep up with Robin Williams and God bless them for doing so.

[@Eidlones]

The cg wasn't good even back then. You can find interviews with the people that made it, and they talk about how crappy the monkeys looked, and why, while the lion looks pretty great. Basically, the monkeys were in a whole bunch of different lighting conditions, making it really difficult to adapt to each one with the time they had, whereas with the lion, they had a real world reference with the animatronic (which is insanely helpful for cg artists)

So much fun to watch with you, Evie! There is another movie from the same writer in a similar vein, but it's based on space, called Zathura: A Space Adventure. It is another fun film that you might enjoy. It didn't have the popularity of Jumanji, the cast wasn't as famous at the time, but it's good fun. The follow-up movies with Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black& Karen Gillan are also a great watch. I hope to enjoy watching you watch them. Thanks for sharing.

[@Yugioh420]

The town basically went bankrupt when the shoe factory went under. His parents gave up on life after searching the ends of the earth for his little boy. Sara's life sucked. His life sucked and lastly the little girl said if we end the game it will all go away. It started 26 years ago. So all of the 26 years was part of the game so therefore had to all go away. Last thing ill say is Sara missed her calling. Imagine how good of a psychic she would have been for at least the next 26 years or so. Lol.

Now I'm wondering if, when you were 12 years old, you looked like she did in this film. 😄 She was also good in the 1994 version of "Little Women" which came out a few months before "Jumanji." 👦 As for Robin Williams, two of his best performances were as cartoon voices. Of course, the Genie in "Aladdin" (1992) and as the character Fender in "Robots" (2005). Both extremely entertaining animated features.

The 2 sequels are surprisingly good too. They won't become classics but they follow the same concept in a different form that makes sense and, most importantly, it's not disrespectful to the original movie (something that often happens in modern movies and tv shows). The second sequel (the third movie) is a bit lazy because it doesn't add anything new to the whole series and the plot is pretty much the same as the previous movie with a couple of new characters and different comical situations. I think they were planning to make a third sequel but I don't know if it was ever produced.

Van Pelt is played by the same actor as Alan's dad because Van Pelt is supposed to be his father's ghost chasing him in his nightmare that is jumanji.

[@Eidlones]

It's a representation of Alan's issues with his father and his expectation of gaining "sophisticated masculinity". Pelt hunts him because he doesn't see him as a "man", which from Alan's point of view is what his father was doing: attacking him for not being a sophisticated man. It's not his ghost, it's a thematic parallel for storytelling.
